🎄Podcast Doh: 10 Stocking Stuffers 🧦🎁🎧
Happy holidays Dohnuts! I’m keeping it light today, bringing you some podcast stocking stuffers for your listening pleasure. Hopefully this introduces a few new favorite shows into your rotation, too!
Quick programming note: I’m taking one week off (the next two posts); see you back here on January 1!
Some are interviews with me about the origins of Rolling in Doh and how things have been unfolding the last year and a half, and others resonate with the 🍌 Flopology theme more broadly :)

✨🎄✨ 10 Rolling in D🤦🏻♀️h Stocking Stuffers 🧦🔥🪵
🎁 Big thanks to , who had me on her wonderful The Soloist Life podcast twice to discuss Doh, once in December 2023 (six months after launching) and the follow-up almost one year later, in October 2024.
🎁 I was also elated to be on ’s must-listen-to podcast (one I binged before kindly introduced us), Off the Grid, for an episode called “What To Do When Nothing’s Working” — not that I have any answers 😬.
Make sure to check out her Substack too, , and enormous congrats to Amelia for landing a spot on We Can Do Hard Things earlier this month!!! I loved her behind-the-scenes episode on what the experience was like :)
🎁 Just a few days ago, The New Yorker’s podcast Critics at Large gifted us with a gem on “The Year of the Flop.” (Call me!) They also mention Kevin Coster and Francis Ford Coppola, both of whom have been featured here, too :)
🎁 Then there’s an entire chart-topping podcast and book from the delightfully wise, warm, and wonderful UK journalist on How to Fail.
Check out her Substack , and here’s an episode from her debut season turning the mic around to share her origin story for the show:
🎁 In July, The Art of Accomplishment published an episode on Failure, where one of the hosts shared a powerful story about his father’s misperceptions of his career and how that shaped both men throughout the course of their lives.
🎁 If any of you are my age (41) and saddled with ennui, perhaps you’re also part of the first cohort having a Millennial Midlife Crisis 😭,2 sans the job security to fund it.
🎁 I would be remiss not to include the event that launched this Substack, losing my favorite licensing client. Here’s a two-part series from where others share how they responded when facing similar business situations:
🎁 And for a bonus eleventh episode, a run-down of this year’s biggest celebrity and pop culture misses, from Wondery’s The Big Flop (for movies, see What Went Wrong):
🎁🎄 That’s a wrap!
(See what I did there 😆) for today’s stocking stuffer round-up of podcast episodes. Did I miss any of your favorites related to Doh or Flopology? Let us know in the comments, and please do share this post with a friend or two 🥳 🙏.
Happiest holidays to you and yours, and see you in the new year! Survive ‘til 25, baby!!3
One more time for the people in the back! ✨ The new Doh podcast playlist on Spotify: ✨
From a May New York Magazine article by Amil Niazi that went viral, “Welcome to the Millennial Midlife Crisis.” An excerpt:
“Today, the real crisis isn’t about mortality; it’s that our lives and stations are unchanged from when we were 30 — or, hell, even 20. It’s about a distinct lack of comfort, of resources. My dad was trying to escape the doldrums of midlife with blond hair; meanwhile, I have friends who can’t even escape a bad marriage because they can’t afford the rent in a new place by themselves, especially if they want to keep their kids in the same school.
For as long as there have been “trend stories” about millennials loving pricey avocado toast, there have been actual millennials sounding the alarm bell about how crippling student-loan debt, a punishing job market, and rapidly rising housing costs have diminished our ability to get a secure footing in our lives and actually start to plan for our futures. And now, we’re not exactly staring out the window of our country house fondly remembering our salad days. We’re still grinding it out, perennially worried about losing it all.
Any single change in our jobs, homes, or health could upend our entire lives in ways that are just financially impossible.”
